⬩COURAGE⬩

*Sexually Explicit Content*

Today is Mattheo's and I 18th birthday. We decided that we didn't want to do anything or any presents. With Christopher gone. I have been living in my room at the Malfoy Manor. I sat in the living room talking to Mattheo.

"So do you think you and Daphne will last?" It's been almost two years with them already and they have a few fights here and there but seem to be good.

"Oh, I'm planning on marrying her. I'm in love with her it's not even funny," he took a sip of his bourbon

I smiled at him remembering how he was so scared to confess anything to her this time two years ago. Now he is in love and wants to marry her. All of my friends are in love or trying to find the courage-Draco- to confess something.

"I know you didn't want to do or get anything today, "Narcissa said walking to us. We turned to look at her, "Your uncle and I got you a gift,"

She handed us a small package. I took the package from her and opened it to see a small keychain locket. I opened it up to see a baby picture of me and Mattheo. We are newborns and another photo of me and Mattheo at our 17th birthday. I looked back up at her, "Thank you,"

I gave her a hug tightly. Mattheo smiled at her and nodded, "Thank you M-Narcissa," he bit his lip

"The newborn photos are you two. Your very first photo together ever," she smiled

"Kind of figure as much,"

Narcissa shook her head at Matheos comment before walking away from us. I sat back down and continued to talk to Mattheo.

"What are you doing here?"

The voice cut across the room like a jagged blade. I turned my head to see Bellatrix standing in the doorway, eyes wild and hair even wilder. Her stomach prominent with a child, "Talking with my brother," I glared at her and made it clear whose space it was by turning back around.

"You should be with your husband," she sneered, her voice curling with venom.

I laughed, standing while crossing my arms over my chest as if to shield myself from the poison of her words. "Just like you should be?" I threw back a chuckle "Oh wait, you cheated and had three kids with someone else," I looked at her stomach, "A fourth on the way,"

Her features twisted with rage, and she screamed the curse with such fury it was nearly a roar. "CRUCIO!"

I light my whole body on fire before the spell hit. She shrieked, frustrated, shooting the curse again, her eyes gleaming with madness. The air crackled blue against the red flames surrounding my body as she hurled magic furiously.

"CRUCIO!"

It was relentless, a storm of curses. She was a woman possessed. Each time I burned hot, her spells failing time and again, seething energy crackling around us. The room glowed with the light of my flames, the house ringing with her shouts and my laughter, echoing down the long halls. She was growing breathless.

I looked to see Lucius and Narcissa standing at the door frame.

"CRUCIO!"

I flickered with fire, remaining untouched. Her temper boiled over, the incantations almost collapsing under the weight of her own exhaustion. It was a tantrum as she stomped her feet. Mattheo was having a laugh at her.

"You done yet?" I smirked as Mattheo was laughing loudly.

She tried again and again until she got tired. She stormed off.

I figured out that my fire ability allows all curses to not hurt me, and it allows any injuries to heal. No wonder the spells felt like nothing. The realization was exhilarating, and the air still hummed with energy as I stood there. My laughter, still echoing in the halls, seemed to mock her retreating footsteps. A power surged in me, one that not even Bellatrix could taint. I turned to Mattheo smiling as he stood up.
